\section{Announcements}
Thank you for attending our service this morning. If you do not have a church
home, we think you would find St. John's to be a wonderful chuch home.
Help needed! Sunday, Aug 10th at 7pm we will be moving furniture in the church
to prepare for floor cleaning. Please come help. Many hands make light work!
The carpets will be cleaned on August 11th and 12th, and floors will be waxed

We would like to thank everyone who helped make our Vacation Bible School and
``Wheels for Wilson'', True North, a grrreat success! About 37 kids entered our
doors and explored this Wild World, learning to Trust Jesus! Thanks to everyone
who taught and led groups, acted in skits, hauled decor, made t-shirts, helped
decorate, shopped, prepared our snacks, grilled, provided props and lighting,
greeted, provided the hayride, cut, took pictures, prayed, set up the sound
system, made the slideshow, encouraged, brought their children, grandchildren,
friends and neighbors. Thank you for having some fun with the ``Wheels for
Wilson'' event! Our offering this year went to the Family of Wilson Maiers for
her medical journey. We provided over \$1,000 for them to use for equipment and
supplies. All participants were blessed by the people in this church...true
evidence of God's love and a God Sighting!
Kidzjam will be held for kids ages 2 and up on Tuesday, August 19. It will be a
come and go event where parents can drop off their kids anytime between
5:00-8:00. We will provide snacks, free-play, crafts, music and story. Sign up
on the bulletin board in back of church or let Andrea, Dawn or Jodi know.
Come celebrate St. John's 160th Anniversary on September 21st! A free catered
meal of roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, coleslaw, dinner roll and
dessert will be served after the 10:30 service. There will be a bouncy house for
the kids and Luke Winger, an inspirational speaker and juggler, will be doing a

The deadline to sign up is September 7th. If you have any questions or want to
